Important Safety Instruction
1. Read these instructions –before using this projector.
2. Keep these instructions –for future reference.
3. Follow all instructions.
4. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
A. Do not block any ventilation openings
To ensure reliable operation of the projector and to protect it from over-
heating, put the projector in a position and location that will not inter-
fere with its proper ventilation. For example, do not place the projector
on a bed, sofa, carpet, or similar surface that may block the ventilation
openings. Do not put it in an enclosure, such as a bookcase or a cabinet
that may keep air from fl owing through its ventilation openings.
B. Do not use this projector near water or moisture. To reduce the risk
of fi re or electric shock, do not expose the projector to rain or moisture.
C. Do not install near any heat sources, such as radiators, heaters,
stoves or other apparatus (including amplifi ers) that produce heat.
5. Clean only with a dry cloth.
6. Only use attachments/accessories specifi ed by the manufacturer.
7. Refer all servicing to qualifi ed service personnel. Servicing is required
when the projector has been damaged in any way:
Such as power supply cord or plug is damaged.
Liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus.
The projector has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not oper-
ate normally, or has been dropped.
Do not attempt to service this projector yourself. Opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other hazards. Please
call Optoma to be referred to an authorized service center near you.
8. Do not let objects or liquids enter the projector –as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fi re or
electric shock.
9. See projector enclosure for safety related markings.
10. The projector should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except
properly qualifi ed service personnel.

Precautions
Please follow all warnings, precautions and mainte-
nance as recommended in this user’s guide.
Warning- Do not look into the projector’s lens when the lamp
is on. The bright light may hurt your eyes.
Warning- To reduce the risk of fi re or electric shock, do not
expose this projector to rain or moisture.
Warning- Please do not open or disassemble the projector &
box as this may cause electric shock.
Warning- When replacing the lamp, please allow unit to cool
down, and follow all replacement instructions. See
page 59.
Warning- This projector will detect the life of the lamp itself.
Please be sure to change the lamp when it shows
warning messages.
Warning- Reset the “Lamp Reset” function from the on-screen
display “System-->Projector-->Lamp” menu after
replacing the lamp module (refer to page 46).
Warning- When switching the projector off, please ensure the
cooling cycle has been completed before disconnect-
ing power. Allow 90 seconds for the projector to
cool down.
Warning- Do not use lens cap when projector is in operation.
Warning- When the lamp is approaching to the end of its life
time, the message “Replacement suggested” will
show on the screen. Please contact your local reseller
or service center to change the lamp as soon as pos-
sible.
When the lamp
reaches the end of its
life, the projector will
not turn back on until
the lamp module has
been replaced. To re-
place the lamp, follow
the procedures listed
under “Replacing the
Lamp” section on page

Eye Safety Warnings
Avoid staring directly into the projector beam at all times.
Minimize standing facing into the beam. Keep your back to
the beam as much as possible.
A stick or laser pointer is recommended to avoid the need for
the user to enter the beam.
Ensure that projectors are located out of the line of sight from
the screen to the audience; this ensures that, when presenters
look at the audience, they do not also have to stare at the pro-
jector lamp. The best way to achieve this is by ceiling-mount-
ing rather than fl oor or table-mounting the projector.
When projector is used in a classroom, adequately supervise
students when they are asked to point out something on the
screen.
In order to minimize the lamp power needed, use room blinds
to reduce ambient light levels.

Recommendations
To unleash the performance of the HD81-LV, it is best to input video
content in its original form without any processing. This will utilize
the full capabilities of the HD81-LV for de-interlacing, scaling and im-
age enhancement. As an example, if a user has an HDMI DVD player
capable of outputting the video signal in a 480i/576i digital format, we
recommend feeding it directly to the HD81-LV without any processing
by the DVD player. This will provide the HD81-LV with the original
digital video stream and allow the HD81-LV to fully unleash its studio
grade video processing.
In general, we recommend the following:
If possible, use digital output (DVD, D-VHS, DTV setup box, etc). If
there is no digital output, use the component output terminals (YPbPr)
with short and high-quality components cables.
If you are unsure of the quality of the internal de-interlacing or scaler
of your video source, let HD81-LV do the processing by connecting to
the interlaced component output.
If possible, leave out any extra video processing in your video source
(DVD, D-VHS, and HDTV STB).
Some HDTV STB models have scaling conversion that will output
1080i from a 720p format. Try to output 1080i in its native signal for-
mat and let HD81-LV perform deinterlacing and scaling.
Not all HDMI DVD players have a digital interlaced output
(480i/576i). For these products, it is suggested that users try 480p/576p
rst, followed by 720p and 1080i. After viewing the full range of out-
put resolutions, the user can then judge which is the best image quality
and set the HD81-LV for that resolution.
Many high-end analog output DVD players also come with high qual-
ity DAC with 12 or 14 bits of processing.
Again, the users should try setting their 480i/576i output to HD81-LV
rst.
HD81-LV has BNC connectors for component video input. If the user
plans to use analog component to connect to their video source, for the
best image quality, it is recommend using the BNC connectors.
For connecting to Laser Disc player or S-VHS deck, we suggest to use
S-video output connection to connect to HD81-LV.
It is best to have a separate power outlet for audio and video equip-
ment.

Connecting HD81-LV To AV Receiver
For maximum fl exibility when integrating into existing
entertainment systems, the HD81-LV Video Box is equipped
with 2 HDMI outputs. One output directly sends the signal out
to the projector and the second output sends the signal out to an
HDMI equipped AV receiver. There are three ways to connect
the HDMI output from the HD81-LV’s Video Box.
Option 1
Using HD81-LV’s Video Box as video source selector and HDMI
equipped AV Receiver for audio:
If you have an HDMI equipped AV receiver and wish to send the audio signal
to the receiver, but utilize the HD81-LV’s Box as the video source selector:
1) Connect the video sources to the HD81-LV’s video Box.
2) Attach an HDMI cable to the “To AV Receiver” port on the back of the
HD81-LV’s Video Box. Connect the other end to your AV Receiver. This will
allow the audio signal to be controlled by the AV Receiver.
3) Attach a 2nd HDMI cable to the AV out port on the back of the AV Receiver.
Connect the other end to the “From AV Receiver” on the back of the HD81-
LV’s Video Box. This will return the video signal in a “pass through” mode.
4) Connect an HDMI Cable to the “To Projector” on the back of the HD81-LV’s
Box side. Connect the other end to HD81-LV’s projector side.
